The F-35 Lightning II is the next-generation jet fighter available in variations for all branches of the military, a so-called joint strike fighter. The Air Force version is the F-35A, a jet that takes off and lands conventionally. Mass production has not begun. The F-35 is designed as a stealth aircraft with special shape, coatings and internal weapons and fuel tanks. Gowen Field today operates 21 A-10 aircraft – nicknamed Warthogs – that perform interdiction, close air support, combat search and rescue, and airborne forward air-control operations. Mountain Home houses American F-15E fighter jets and one squadron of F-15SGs from the Republic of Singapore.
